disclaimer.. I'm a little (a lot) drunk but still... Searching for 'google maps' does not bring up this app.. I could only find it by clicking on the link... Is visibility this poor on the App Store... The name I'm searching is identical to that of the app, what's going on here..
I am seeing the same as you (ctrl+f'd for 'search').
"Google Maps" in App Store showing nothing for both iPhone and iPad. (Canada?) Had to go though this link. I understand it is new but that seems a bit underhanded...
The more likely explanation is that Apple is caching the search index. Which given the traffic volumes, number of apps and the fact they are using Lucene makes sense.
